Best Answer

The aesthetic style of 'Antigone' is theatrical. An epic style tells the story of the feats and genealogies of heroic figures. A formal style is recognized by its controls and restraints in dealing with emotion charged issues. A theatrical style is characterized by drama. An absence of heroic recountings and comprehensive bloodlines, an abundance of emotion, and the presence of drama describe 'Antigone'. So the play is neither epic nor formal, but indeed theatrical.

What rites does Antigone perform for her dead brother in 'Antigone'?

Proper, Theban-style funeral rites are the rites performed by Antigone for her dead brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone gives the body of her dead brother Polyneices a Theban burial. The burial is supposed to be below-ground. But Antigone lacks the strength for anything other than a partial burial, by which the body remains above ground, but covered with a layer of dust. Whether complete or partial, the burial must be accompanied by anointing with sacred liquid from a special ewer. Then the body will be considered as having received a proper, Theban-style burial and funeral rites.


What does Antigone want to do with Polyneices in 'Antigone'?

Bury him and give him proper funeral rites is what Antigone wants to do with Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Polyneices' body is being denied its rights as a Theban's corpse to a below-ground burial and Theban-style funeral rights. With help, Theban Princess Antigone, Polyneices' sister, can give him a below-ground burial. Without it, she can cover him with a layer of dust and anoint him with liquid from a special ewer.


What year was 'Antigone' published?

The year 442 B.C.E. is suggested as a publication year for the play 'Antigone'. But that's just a guesstimate. It's based on the writing style of the play and the events in the life of playwright Sophocles [c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.].

What does Antigone say about Eteocles in 'Antigone'?
